(In the F15/16, the fan would keep running until you either hit the fan button again to shut if off or after a period of time, which was about 10 minutes.)
I loved using the RES feature on cold days when I'm running errands. It would keep the vehicle much warmer, when turned off, if you were just stepping away for something like 20 minutes.

Yes, it's completely different than it's always been, but I've gotten used to the new way and find it to be fine. I run cold, so I'm a heat-grubber.
If I'm sitting in my car, I just hit the fan switch to keep warm.
If I'm going grocery shopping or something like that, I just set the precondition timer (auto start) right before I get in line to check out.
